About the movie:

Barbie™ stars as Blair Willows, a kind-hearted girl whose life changes when she’s chosen to attend the prestigious Princess Charm School. For Blair™, learning how to be a princess is a dream come true: there’s dancing, tea etiquette, poise classes as well as helpful magical sprites and new friends, Princesses Hadley™ and Delancy™. Royal teacher Dame Devin is not pleased to discover Blair Willows’ uncanny resemblance to the kingdom’s missing princess; she’s certain Blair™ could interfere with her plan for her own daughter to inherit the kingdom. Just as Blair™ is beginning to blossom as a student, her world is turned upside down when she and the princesses stumble upon an enchanted crown belonging to the rightful heir of Gardania. Will the true heir be revealed before Coronation Day?

One of the messages this movie helps to encourage is that there is a princess in every girl plus it celebrates and encourages good manners. In this day and age, we don’t focus enough on etiquette and manners and I think this DVD will serve as a great example for young girls, and maybe even their parents who have forgotten a little bit about poise and politeness.

In anticipation of the DVD release, there is an accompanying toy line with dolls portraying the characters from the DVD.

About the toy line:

What little girl hasn’t dreamed of being a princess? While meeting Prince Charming, living in a palace and wearing a tiara are all fun parts of being royalty, modern day princesses such as Kate Middleton, must also be kind, poised and well-mannered. With the movie’s accompanying toy line, little girls can relive the movie and practice their princess etiquette for endless hours of play.

It’s such an invaluable learning tool for kids to be able to act out what they see and hear. With the Barbie Princess Charm School dolls, girls can take the principals of good manners they see in the movie and apply them as they play and interact with the dolls. It’s hands on learning and from a parents perspective, it’s fun to watch and listen to how they interpret what they’ve seen and heard.

About Kimberly Grabinski

Hi, I'm Kim! I'm a married mother of 2 with a passion for fitness & healthy living. We live in NW Indiana near Chicago. I am slightly obsessive, love coffee, running, Kenpo Karate & dogs. I have a passion for real food, organics, GMO labeling, Young Living essential oils & green living.

I love Barbie. You said, Barbie has been so many things. My Mom and I played Barbie together, my Dad made me a Barbie doll house and I had Barbie, Ken, Midge, Alan and Skipper! even had the special edition baby in the bassinet. Growing up I saw Barbie as the possibles in life. She could do this, and so could any girl! There is a special little girl in our family that will love the new DVD! I think the Charm School DVD will be a learning tool for girls about why it is still important to have “charm and grace”. And hey, it will be a fun girl thing too!

I think it is wonderful to teach girls good manners. Everyone should learn those. But I agree with letting girls be girls. This is the way they are-why take that away from them? spcale at yahoo dot com.

I would like that my daughter would LOVE this! She is six, and is all about Barbie. She has almost all of the Barbie DVDs that have ever been made, a plastic bin full of Barbies, a Barbie bike, Barbie jeep, etc. She is bananas about Barbie, and she already can’t wait for this DVD to come out. :)

I too love that the movie helps to encourage girls to use proper manners. Most young girls want to emulate Barbie and if she is teaching good manners, those girls will practice good manners themselves. Throw in a little magic into the movie, and it sounds like a fairy tale my 7 year old daughter and 4 year old niece are going to love!

I think that I will like that my daughters will love this movie and the Barbie Dolls, they have a couple barbie dolls and they never played with them until just a couple days ago and been playing with them everyday now.

I think it will be a cute movie. My daughter is all into everything princess and I let her indulge in it as much as she wants. She’s a child and using her imagination. She went through a stage where she loved everything cars for awhile too. I also indulged that. I’d never stop her from doing something that she enjoys as long as it’s not hurting her or anyone else. We have most of the other barbie movies so this one will fit right in. brittneydejajason at gmail dot com

I think it is magical how she is the long lost princess. I know in our house, my daughter will be dressing up in her dresses and saying she is a long lost princess. I can already see it now. I love Barbie and agree that she is a great role model!

I like that the message is there is a princess in every girl and also that it encourages good manners. The dolls are very pretty and I’m sure any little girl would love to play with them. Thank you! jackievillano at gmail dot com
